Build. Test. Fly. Repeat. The more often we fly, the more quickly in-space manufacturing becomes just another link in the global supply chain. Varda has two more missions planned for 2025.

The W-4 capsule is equipped with Varda’s first homemade heatshield, but two of its tiles were made at NASA Ames. This flight will compare the two types of C-PICA—Varda's rapid flight cadence allows researchers to quickly validate materials in the extreme environment of reentry.
